Muncie’s own Cornfed Derby Dames are gearing up for an action packed eighth season beginning in February. In 2017, Cornfed represented Muncie in many home and away games and tournaments throughout the Midwest. The team is now ranked 123 out of 339 international roller derby leagues in the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The Cornfed All-Stars and Muncie Missfits now make up a league of over 40 active members.

Admission is $12 per person at the door, $10 in advance through Brown Paper Tickets, or from any Cornfed Derby Dame. College students, military personnel, veterans, firefighters, and EMT’s are just $8 with an ID and children ages 10 and younger are free with the purchase of an adult ticket (limit two children). Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are available at the concession stand. A portion of all bout proceeds in 2018 will be donated to A Better Way Services.

In addition to their four home games, Cornfed will travel to Roselle, IL to play the Dupage Derby Dames on March 10. The Cornfed All-Stars will participate in two tournaments this season: K-Town Shakedown from April 27-29 in Kalamazoo, MI and the Midwest BrewHaha from June 1-3 in Milwaukee, WI. Due to the high costs of travel and lodging, the dames are accepting donations from fans online here. If you or your business are interested in sponsoring the league this season contact cfddmonies@gmail.com for more information.

We are excited to begin our eighth season this fall and are starting the season off with a New Skater Clinic on Sunday, September 10 from 3 to 6 p.m. at Gibson’s Skating Arena. If you have ever contemplated getting involved with roller derby now is your chance!

The clinic is open to anyone 18 years or older interested in playing roller derby, becoming a referee or non-skating official. No previous skating experience is necessary; our talented coaching staff will spend the clinic teaching the basic skating skills of roller derby. The following gear is required at the clinic: quad roller skates, mouth guard, helmet, elbow pads, wrist guards, and knee pads. Much of the required gear is available to borrow from Cornfed but each participant must provide their own mouth guard.

The clinic is just $5 to attend and does not require any long-term league commitment. If you do choose to join the league, a three-week boot camp will follow the clinic and expand on skating skills before league practices resume in October. Pre-registration is required, to register fill out this form. If you have any additional questions about the clinic or borrowing gear email cfddrecruitment@gmail.com.
